Most Popular Song in Europe Each Month of the 2000s 

imfg man, i just wanted to ask you for making the spotify playlist for this awesome chart from my childhood ❤ thank you very much for this

Same here. Made me realise that I absorbed all of these like a sponge starting from 2006 when I was 11... dang. Such diff times...

Honestly, overwhelming nostalgia hit

Same can't believe I'm 34 😅

@@XxCherylMichelleXx Exactly the same here...

​@@XxCherylMichelleXx35 today, how the hell that happened 😭

Yeah

Me too 😂

Feels like this morning with some of them.

I'm in my mid-20s, and wow does it hit like a truck

It is weird how they seem like yesterday but so long ago at the same time.

Same in Italy!!

And in Spain, believe me. By the way, where's the italodance in this video...? 😢

Somewhere in my parent's attic there is a VHS cassette with a video of me trying to sing along to the lyrics when I was 6 years old. My mother secretly filmed me.😅

You know what else was huge in Germany back in the day? The nazi movement.

For me, this is one of the shittiest and worst songs ever made. very, very bad.

good point!

Yeah, I have serious questions on his sources. Some songs on his list did NOT chart at all in my region, whereas others (like Moi Lolita, Teenage Dirtbag, AAF's Smooth Criminal just to name a few) were everywhere and are nowhere to be seen on this list.

Yes and that Taxi song I don't remember the name

@@yoongistongue4163 Joe Le Taxi?

omg NOW i remember it!

exactly! she is timeless

Was just thinking the same. Most of those acts raging in worldwide popularity for a month or two were all but forgotten the next year, and she'd be popping every few years even after that mediocre thing Amoricen liv.

@@miloradvlaovicAmerican Life is a great album that is only hated in the US lol

​@@2609israel I agree, great album!

She still made bangers well into the 2000s. Too bad she didn't really know when enough was enough.

On the contrary, most of these songs are absolute rubbish 😂

@@davecom3 So true...

@dregn159 And it is important to realize that the same statement is true for the time we are in now. Shit can always get worse, so enjoy whatever there is to enjoy 😉

Nah, I always knew those were the good times, I never wanted to grow up. Though I didn't realise that music would get so shitty later.

@@davecom3 most of the songs in the video are relatively good and people remember it fondly, it also had lots of energy compared to today's chart toppers. There was lots of trash but that is in any era, and in 2000s usually it wouldn't reach number one, maybe lower number 10s or number 20; there were exceptions of course

I remember ALL of them Nah jk, there are a few i don't but most are hardwired into my brain

Kinda same for me. Also feels like the music became unoriginal and stale soon after the 2000's. Can't say if it's just my preference and nostalgia for 80/90 music but that how it feels to me. Music became just a copy paste thing...

Same here 😂 How old are you?

@@grooss00 41

exactly the same for me too. i wonder if this says more about our age at the time (i'm currently 41 as well as the other commenter) or about music trends (long tail, pop music splitting into subgenres..)

For me it was around 2005, everything after that is a blend and even though I know the songs if anyone asked me which year or even decade any of those songs came out I'd not be able to tell. Everything after 2004 falls into "modern" category for me.

All the songs from the 90s video prior to 1998 are familiar as well, just not as something I remember "experiencing".

same

@@renerpho now they are all like tik-tok songs. Taylor swift billie Eilish etc, use strange filters in their voices, also hard dull bass and extremely loud productions and no high frequencies. In many Greek songs now they use templates like songs Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish and they destroy the productions.

Same here…always feels like those time could come back…and then I realise

cuz it's still shit

Tbh I never heard Gorillaz on the radio my entire life.

@@dziabuka1981how did you never hear DARE on the radio??

@@YTLJE idk I just didn't 🤷‍♀️

why? bad childhood or because that era was awesome to be young in?

samee im glad we had a good time though

same here.. makes me feel a bit sad tho, craving to getting that time back and be in my early 20's again.. because g*dd@mn what an awesome era it was... not a care in the world, living the life, hanging out with friends, occasionally banging chicks now and then, and of course it wasnt always sunshine, there was drama as well, but even that i miss these days... i am bored to death these days, and i refuse to get old and wrinkled but i don't want to be seen as someone who doesn't want to grow up.. I am a proud father of a 14 year old son so i have my responsibilities and of course i act as society wants me to act but its shitty sometimes.. seeing people i used to hang with all the time changing into these numb mindless 'perfect' people who won't even go on a memory tour because 'that was then, we were stupid and young'... i hate it.. why do people do that.

This deserves more likes! Thank You! Was looking for this

Yeah, I went from the 90's were I knew every one, to this and there was a point where I thought.."I've never heard the last 3 before" etc

Exactly. In the '90s, there was so much musical diversity, even in the charts. But in the 2000s we got bombarded with industrially crafted drivel. I distinctly remember hating almost everything that came out on the radio back then. When I grew older, I thought "maybe I was just being an edgy teen/early adult back then". But when I listen to this now, it reconfirms my opinions. Going through this list was for the most part agonizing.

VIVA Polska

Бэнгер на бэнгере едет и бэнгером погоняет ❤

30 consecutive years of bangers! no one ever achieved this

@@marcus813 I don't understand why now songs have strange filters in voice and strange bass. Even in 00s, artists used autotune, voice was so clear. Now vocals are grunged or like strange and bass also loudness that they master to -9, -8 even to -6.9 LUFS destroy all details.

Makes you wonder how "20ies" parties will go down. Everybody logs into spotify and gets a different playlist?

not even a decade, the great shift happened around 2004-2006. which roughly corresponds with the advent of the biggest gamechangers, iTunes store in 2003 & RU-vid in 2005. From that moment on, Internet made radio & TV fall back on increasingly formulaic pop because that was how they could retain their audiences, at least for some more time.

Justin Rimberlake made some bangers and Pink and Rihanna and...

3 if you count "I got a feeling"

The second half is really bad 😅

She's massive outside of English speaking countries.

It is owned by Ara audio-video and pays mostly chalga videos by Ara music and Diapason records

Probably 'cause it isn't any good after all...

This!

So true. I've asked myself why that is many times, and I think it's down to trusted channels for good music disappearing around that time, and record labels not investing in smaller bands and "niche" styles anymore. MTV stopped having dedicated shows for certain music styles and then stop showing music videos altogether, for example. I remember I found it quite hard to find new bands and figure out what good songs were around, much harder than in the 90s, and I ended up spending a considerable amount of time searching for good music because it wasn't easily available. Most people didn't bother, because let's face it, searching for music was quite a hassle, so they just took in whatever trash was fed to them. It's sad.

Right!? Instead of the occasional grunge or rock like in the 90's, it has crap like the Crazy Frog song instead!! When I watched the 90's one I was taking screenshots olevry 2 to 3 songs to remind myself to dl them later... in this one I'm lucky to find 1 in 10 songs :(

I thought music wasn't for me back then. That there just happened to be a few 'good songs' you'd hear sometimes but everything else was the same.

Yes it's mostly disappointing to me 😕

Just like I remember, everything changed in early 2000's. Before that, it was another world.

I think it comes from the fact that europe is full of different countries, so people generally do listen to artists from their home country, but that doesn't mean that any of the other european countries would.

That one is featured in the '2nd most popular songs' video.

Most of these songs were popular back then in all over the world,not just Europe 😂

The cover of Madonna song. Oh, gollies.

'One More Time' was among the most popular songs in December 2000, and 'Like a Prayer' in April 2002. They just didn't end up as the top songs of these months.

I am more shocked about the lack of Gorillaz

It reached number one in the UK in December 2002 but took a while until it was released and became a hit on the continent.
